Open Dielectric Resonator

A simple algorithm for reliably determining the Q-factor of an open dielectric resonator made of a material with a tgδ less than 0.0001 in the shielded region is presented, based on measuring the parameters of an electromagnetically coupled system of bulk metal and open dielectric resonators. The analytical substantiation of the considered method for determining the Q-factor of an open dielectric resonator in electrodynamic and electrotechnical representations is carried out. The variants of the influence of the metal volume on the effective Q-factor of an open dielectric resonator depending on its electrophysical characteristics are considered. The factors affecting the effective Q-factor of an open dielectric resonator obtained using this measurement method are evaluated, and the range of expected measurement errors is shown. The advantage of the method for determining the Q-factor of an open dielectric resonator is the high accuracy of the obtained analytical ratios for determining the Q-factor, the absence of increased requirements for the accuracy of the measurement sections and the quality of the internal surfaces of the metal resonator, the simplicity of the measurement process, based on the use of ordinary equipment and element base.

AbstractThe spectral and energy characteristics of the tunable thin planar dielectric resonator with the movable metal mirror are researched. It is found that the high-Q HE-polarized whispering gallery modes (WGMs) are effectively excited in such a resonator by the dielectric waveguide. A mode set of the tunable thin planar dielectric resonator depends on the presence of an air gap in its design. Changing the height of the air gap affects the energy characteristics of the tunable thin planar dielectric resonators (DR). Shifting the resonant fields of WGMs from the dielectric disk to the air gap is the reason for this effect. It is shown that at certain heights of the air gap, increasing the unloaded Q-factor of the tunable thin planar DR and improving the excitation efficiency of WGMs in it is achieved.

Abstract The design and first experimental results of Tx and Rx L-band bandpass filters for a high-power satellite diplexer are presented in this paper. Designed in the framework of an ESA ARTES AT project, the filters are based on TM010 mode dielectric resonators. These resonators allow for better results in terms of volume occupation with respect to other dielectric resonators still maintaining high Q-factor values (>2000). Volume saving above 30% is achieved with respect to standard coaxial filters. The filter geometries and materials have been chosen in order to improve the power-handling and to cope with related critical issues for space applications (i.e. avoid any multipactor discharge in the operating RF power range and low-PIM response). Measurements of Tx filter show good correlation with the design in terms of central frequency, BW, and unloaded Q-factor (almost 3000). Measurements of Rx filter show a worse correlation with the design in terms of filter response shape. This is ascribed to size tolerances of one of the filter resonators. Multiple analyses are ongoing to remove this degradation in the final engineering model.

Auxiliary Mass

This paper shows an approach to evaluate mode shapes for beams through using a passing auxiliary mass. The coupled system of an auxiliary mass passing over a beam is time-dependent, and the corresponding instantaneous frequencies (IFs) are equivalent to the mode shapes. Hence, reconstruction of the mode shapes is easy to be achieved through estimating the IFs. A simple algorithm based on ridge detection is proposed to reconstruct the mode shapes. This method is effective if the beam is light or the lumped mass is heavy. It is convenient since it requires an accelerometer mounted on the passing auxiliary mass rather than a serious of sensors mounted on the structure itself. It is also more practical because it is usually difficult to install external exciter. A lab-scale experimental validation shows that the new technique is capable of identifying the first three mode shapes accurately.

ABSTRACTThe dielectric properties of ceramic materials and dielectric resonators on the basis of oxides of Ba,Ti and alkaline earth elements, and also of the calcium titanate-lanthanum aluminate system, with ε =82 and ε =40…48, frequency temperature coefficient (TCf) from - 10ppm/°C to + 10ppm/°C have been studied. Ceramics with ε =82 ensures the DR Q-factor of 3000 and more at f=3GHz. The Q-factor of DR made of ceramics with ε=42, TCf =0 reaches 8000 at f=7GHz.
